Slicing off the side of a 28-pound halibut is just another day at the office for Danny Johnson, co-owner and butcher at Taylor's Market in Land Park. It’s a skill he was happy to share with a dozen Sacramentans on Saturday for one of several Butchering 101 workshops his store has held since January. The class members bombarded Johnson with their seafood, poultry and butchering questions. He didn't let them down. "Everything I tell you, it's how it works (at Taylor's)," Johnson told the class... jonathanmort dshore22 comment-35876 2010-08-30T22:11:39Z 2010-08-30T22:11:39Z Did you know that Taylor's also delivers groceries, just like in the big cities??? There is something really GREAT about this small market - they carefully select the food and products they sell, and they're just plain NICE. They also carry locally produced wines from nearby appelations -- and many are truly world class. I truly love getting my Friday morning orders from Taylor's -- their meats are locally sourced, and they make their own ground stuff -- like ground beef and ground lamb, which is really great in spaghetti. Their restaurant is also amazing, and philanthropic -- they hosted a fundraiser for Haitian relief that was packed to the rafters. Taylor's is a gem and I hope they're here for a long long time. Btw, Jon, you're hot! dshore22 2010-08-30T22:11:39Z Jon Mortimer comment-35875 2010-08-30T21:30:39Z 2010-08-30T21:30:39Z I did. My camera has a video feature adn as I was taking all of these photos I thought, "He's about to slice this halibut, and that would be cool to watch on video." Glad I did. It's pretty fun to be able to watch this kind of stuff happen. Jon Mortimer 2010-08-30T21:30:39Z Mariel Tagg comment-35868 2010-08-30T20:13:45Z 2010-08-30T20:13:45Z Great article! Taylor's Market is just 3 or 4 blocks away from my house and I go there all the time, so it's very reassuring to hear that they buy locally as often as possible. I think every city could use more local markets like Taylor's. Also, did you take that video? Very cool. Mariel Tagg 2010-08-30T20:13:45Z
